Although I too would not "toke it up" even if it were legal, I'm no more afraid of responsible marijuana users than I am responsible alcohol, tobacco, firearm or cell phone users.

Rather hypocritical, indeed! I have an ethos problem with people using drugs of any sort, but I have a conflicted opinions. I am fine with people needing medication for things and the use of marijuana seems like an appropriate use of a drug to alleviate symptoms of different problems. I suppose I have the most issue with people who think they can control the consequences after they have embibed drugs that alter their decision making abilities. Back to your original point, it is HIGH time that the rules change. Maybe it would pass unanimously if someone brought a tasty plate of brownies?
